Appetite for Art in Sooke.

This weekend I have two pieces in the Appetite for Art Show & Sale at the Best Western Prestige in Sooke BC. The executive chef for the Prestige will be creating Art inspired food and wine pairings to compliment the artwork displayed. The two pieces selected are 'Corn Fed' and 'Jack's Place'. 'Jack's Place' is actually shown in miniature in the image above.

This should be a very exciting event being creative cooking is one of favourite t hings to do when I am not painting. Unfortunately the dinner is sold out but the show is open to the public at 7pm.

I hope to see you there.

Toronto Visit

I recently visited Toronto and got the chance to see where my first tryptich was installed. Bill Norgate, the owner of the piece is planning to change the wall colour and raise the paintings up a bit higher. This will lessen the blocking of the paintings by the equipment in his showroom. The wall colour change will bring some more warmth into the showroom space by picking up a colour from the tryptich. I really enjoyed meeting with Bill and having a chance to provide a little input in the hanging of this piece. Thanks again to my brother Norm for arranging the meeting and the tremendous hospitality shown by Norm, Helen, their daughter Linda, and Clive and my sister Linda. Cheers to all our friends new and old!

Sooke Fine Arts Show

Juan De Fuca Opus #2 Size 4'x16' Acrylic on Canvas I received a call today from the Sooke Fine Art Show and my piece has been accepted by the jury for the show. If you are in the area or live on Vancouver Island the Exhibition runs from July 24 to August 2. For more information visit http://www.sookefinearts.com/ticket-info.php

Size & Perspective

This will give you more of an idea of the size of the triptych. I shot this this morning at 7am prior to starting to work on the detail work that has to be done. As you can see it almost covers the entire end of our house. It has been a juggling act moving and working on each canvas because my work space is only 10'x10'.
